Well I never have worked on a JIT/AOT and I have to admit I haven't done 
any contributions to the PHP engine (and it seems I do not have any 
rights to write some couple of messages expressing concerns/views 
because of that).

On the other side I took the wxwidgets extension in an effort to revive 
it (because I believe PHP can have other use cases). Improved its code 
generator (and other stuff that involved a relation with the PHP source 
code) which now generates more than 905941 lines of code that constitute 
the extension (github.com/wxphp/wxphp/tree/master/src).

So I have indeed read source from PHP core. In any case, sorry if I have 
annoyed some, that never was my intention, we as humans can't posses all 
the knowledge of the world, so thats why we always learn from somebody 
else, whats the purpose of a community without participation :)

Cheers!
